In the year 202 of the Tianmen Calendar.

It has been two hundred years since humanity embarked on the journey of life evolution, yet the path of cultivation remains fraught with thorns.

Internal injuries from cultivation, toxicity accumulated from consuming elixirs, and genetic collapse during boundary breakthroughs... all threaten the lives of martial artists!

But Jiang Heng, who has crossed over into this world, has obtained a golden finger.

[Illness Erosion: Absorb and convert all diseases, poisonings, internal injuries, pollution, and other negative states in the body into personal strength]

Thus, the cultivation risks that ordinary people fear like tigers are sweet as honey to Jiang Heng.

...

"Systemic osteoarthritis, rhabdomyolysis, abdominal organ hemorrhage, and three hundred and sixty cultivation diseases, including genetic collapse..."

"All will be transformed into my physical strength!"

...

Years later.

Jiang Heng transforms into a humanoid titan, tearing apart superclusters of galaxies, treading on the cosmic web, and crushing the myriad races of the starry seas.

He lets out a roar that makes all living beings tremble within billions of light-years.

"I am going to blow up this universe!"

Half a life spent in ignorance and naivety, the other half in steady pursuit of truth.

Xuan Ming lived fifty-five muddled years in a foreign world, unaware of his past or purpose. But one day, he awakened—his memories of past and present lives converging. For five years, he secluded himself in the Sutra Library, studying ancient scriptures. Then, in the year of the Jiazi Cycle, when all things renew, he finally transformed—a late bloomer, but destined for greatness.

With the Daoist scripture Huangting Jing as his foundation, he delved into the vast Daoist Canon, seeking enlightenment through diligent study and steadfast cultivation:

After reading 300 scrolls, he grasped the Primordial Foundation Technique.

After 600 scrolls, he comprehended the True Art of Five Thunders.

After 900 scrolls, he mastered the Celestial Spirit-Nurturing Method.

…

Observing the movements of the stars, he created the Heavenly Star Formation.

Gazing into the depths of the underworld, he forged the Nine Netherworld Domain.

In his moments of leisure, he watched the flowers bloom and wither before his courtyard, saw the clouds drift and shift across the sky—nurturing his mind and spirit, pursuing inner peace and absolute freedom.

"One who seeks solace beyond the mortal world is not one who polishes mirrors in the dust of society."

Xuan Ming shunned trouble, dedicating himself solely to the Dao.

As for those who obstructed his path and clouded his thoughts—he simply stroked the peachwood sword in his hand and smiled in silence.
